[...] le juge en chef, à la suite d'une recommandation de la majorité des juges en fonction, peut disqualifier un skieur qui semble être un danger pour lui-même et pour les autres concurrents. Pendant la compétition, il peut agir de la même manière si un concurrent a un comportement anti-sportif ou pose tout autre geste considéré préjudiciable aux skieurs, aux organisateurs ou au sport du ski pieds nus. 1, record 2, French, - ski%20nautique%20pieds%20nus
